Ohio dam removal restores 39km of Cuyahoga River, draws 15 new fish species
The demolition of the Brecksville Diversion Dam in Ohio has significantly improved habitat conditions along the Cuyahoga River. Researchers recorded the return of 15 fish species to the lower river stretch following the removal. While native fish have successfully re-established themselves, non-native species have also entered the ecosystem as a result. The project has reopened approximately 39 kilometres of river to migrating fish. Conservationists are continuing efforts to remove additional dams in the region to further restore the broader Cuyahoga River basin.
